2 themes that appeal to all age groups and equal countries. Dr Who celebrates it's 50th anniversary in 2013. I'd be more inclined to see a fresh new approach to a Dr Who pin with recent stars and villains. LOTR really fills the bill as far as The Hobbit is concerned for me.

Bally Dr Who focused on the Daleks, I'd like to see recent updated villains and cybermen all together on this on.

Read up. Dr Who is broadcast in 50 countries. The current revival also garners the highest audience Appreciation Index of any drama on television.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr_Who

I don't think dr who will get redone. It is a pity, but since the theme has already been done I cannot see jjp trying to redo it. It does get broadcast in 50 countries but in the us its on bbc america which not everyone has.

It's like drugs and pussy. If you want it you'll find a way to get it. Free Internet downloads and DVD/Blu-Ray sales.

You mean you don't want a huge Bilbo face on the middle of the playfield ala Angus?

YEAH;)
Prefer no actors at all on the backbox!
A few on the playfield is allowed:)

Since JJP will be doing The Hobbit I think we can rest easy that actors won't be slathered all over the non-LCD area of the backglass. I would expect them to take the minimalist approach like they did with WOZ and have the title/logo along with some tastefully done art/graphics around it.

Count me as one of those. Every time I've played the pin I have been confused why that grey robot thing is screeching at me. I just wanted to make it stop! In fact the racket it makes is so bad that I couldn't watch the tv show for fear of them making that sound.

Either Doctor Who or the Hobbit would be great. Actually though, I would like to see one made after one of the popular premium television shows right now. Game of Thrones, Spartacus, or True Blood (in that order in my opinion) would all be pretty cool themes . . . my guess is it is unlikely any would be picked up though due to the rather physical graphic nature of the three shows.

And maybe some hobbit feet flippers

Remember how Jack promised us a darker take on woz? That didn't happen because the end resut had to adhere to the style guide. The same will be true with the Hobbit. Luckily, the style guide for the LOTR films has always been quite good, so I am sure the game will look nice.
